Answer 1

You're missing 2 things.

1. You can use the [OR] flag in your conditions, or simply combine the regex

2. You are causing a redirect loop so you need to not redirect /index

   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/index [r=301,L]

Or if you only want to redirect requests for the root :

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.mydomain.com/index [r=301,L]
